That maids could give, or lovers press;
'Tis cold-the blood its veins bath fled,
And it lies peaceful by the dead!
This Haud shall soon alike repose,
For it is cald as winter snows,
And "paler than the pale primrose."
These are the last that it will write,
The latest efforts of its might ;-
For him that guides it, grief hath crost,
And his life's dearest tie is lost;
Oh! Sorrow so hath shaded o'er
Each prospect, that he looks no more,
Save to the latest-darkest,-Death,-
To sleep with her, who sleeps beneath.
Lambeth.
J. H. R.

On seeing a most melancholy Object in a state apparently of helpless Idiotcy in a Country Workhouse. Addressed to a Friend of some sarcastic Reviewers.

OH dreadful state of frail mortality,

Approach, ye proud, ye vicious, and
ye vain,

Degraded, sunk, lost ev'n to misery,
And dead alike to pleasure, as to pain.
Can this poor object, whose corporeal
frame,

And mental powers, an equal ruin share; Can she claim kindred with those souls of flame,

The sons of Genius, Heaven's peculiar care? That form inanimate, those heavy eyes Depriv'd of ev'ry trace of sense or joy, Crown'd with immortal beauties soon may rise,

And taste of bliss unmingled with alloy. Th' Almighty's will, that sunk so low, may

raise

This feeble worn to Heaven's angelic The tongue, now mute, then sing Jehovah's praise; [lyre. This listless hand, then strike a Seraph's Subdued each vainer thought, all selfish

Frewhile, some simple, rural theme,

In happier days, my Muse had given, The daisied mead, the murmuring stream, The dawning of the Star of Heaven. Pleas'd with the memory of days,

Fleeting indeed, but, ah, how sweet! Methought I would recall some lays, The solace of my lone retreat.

I mark'd the torrent's dash below,

And deem'd it worthy of my strain,
A moment listed to its flow,
[vain.
Then struck my lyre-and sigh'd-in
And, ah! I cried, the calm is broke,
The tranquil heart no more is mine;

What storm is this, and whence the stroke?
Ah, cruel Love! the storm is thine.
Farewell, ye sylvan scenes! awhile:
A magic, dearer than your own,
The magic of Eliza's smile,

Recalls her wanderer to the town.
Farewell, awhile! perhaps his pain
Eliza! may thy bosom move;

Then will his lyre awake again,
And Peace return to dwell with Love!

Of humble Lovers, constitute thy reign: Ouly this difference Beauty's realm can boast,

Where most it favours, it enslaves the most; And those to whom 'tis most indulgent found

Are ever in the surest fetters bound.
No tyrant yet but thee was ever known,
Cruel to them that serv'd to make him one:
Valour's a vice, if not with Honour join'd;
Then Beauty a disease, when 'tis not kind.

Whereas his Royal Highness the Prince Regent, acting in the name and on the behalf of his Majesty, Sovereign of the Most Honourable Military Order of the Bath, is desirous of commemorating the auspicious termination of the long and arduous contests in which this Empire has been engaged, and of marking in an especial manner his gracious sense of the valour, perseverance, and devotion manifested by the Officers of his Majesty's forces by sea and land:-And whereas his Royal Highness has thought it fit, by virtue of the Royal Prerogative, and of the powers reserved to the Sovereign in the statutes of the said Most Honourable Military Order of the Bath, to advance the splendour and extend the limits of the said Order, to the end that those Officers who have had the opportunities of signalising themselves by eminent services during the late war, may share in the honours of the said Order, and that their names may be delivered down to remote posterity, accompanied by the niarks of distinction which they have so nobly earned:

The Prince Regent, therefore, acting in the name and on the behalf of his Majesty, hath been graciously pleased to ordain as follows:

1st. The Most Honourable Military Order of the Bath shall from this time for ward be composed of Three Classes, differing in their ranks and degrees of dignity.

6th. In order to distinguish more particularly those officers of his Majesty's. forces, by sea and land, upon whom the First Class of the said Order hath already been, or may hereafter be, conferred in consideration of especial military service, such Officers shall henceforth bear upon the Ensign and Star, and likewise upon the Badge of the Order, the addition of a wreath of laurel encircling the motto, and, issuing from an escrol inscribed "Ich Dien."

Order of the Bath shall henceforth upon. no account be conferred upon any Officer in his Majesty's service, who shall not have attained the rank of Major-general in the army, or Rear-admiral in the navy, except as to the Twelve Knights Grand Crosses who may be nominated and ap-. pointed for civil services.
